Management has been one of the driving forces of the last century, indeed an idea and a language that colonized most other institutions, areas of human activity and walks of life, even those that had until recently been regarded as completely unmanageable, such as art, academia and creativity. Some it supported and others it destroyed, but there are few areas in modern societies that have been untouched by it. What is the meaning of managemen...

We are living in an open sea, caught up in a continuous wave, with no fixed point and no instrument to measure distance and the direction of travel. Nothing appears to be in its place any more, and a great deal appears to have no place at all. The principles that have given substance to the democratic ethos, the system of rules that has guided the relationships of authority and the ways in which they are legitimized, the shared values and thei...

Contemporary understanding of human subjectivity has come a long way since the Cartesian 'thinking thing' or Freud's view of the self struggling with its unconscious. We no longer think of ourselves as stable and indivisible units or combinations thereof - instead, we see the self as constantly reinvented and reorganised in interaction with others and with its social and cultural environments. But the world in which we live today is one of unc...

With characteristic brilliance, Zygmunt Bauman shows that the problem of coping with 'wasted lives' - the 'superfluous' populations of migrants, refugees and other outcasts - provides a key for understanding some otherwise baffling features of our shared life, from the strategies of global domination to the most intimate aspects of human relationships.

La metafora della liquidità, da quando Bauman l'ha coniata, ha marcato i nostri anni ed è entrata nel linguaggio comune per descrivere la modernità nella quale viviamo. Individualizzata, privatizzata, incerta, flessibile, vulnerabile, nella quale a una libertà senza precedenti fanno da contraltare una gioia ambigua e un desiderio impossibile da saziare.

Unde malum from where does evil come? That is the question that has plagued humankind ever since Eve, seduced by the serpent, tempted Adam to taste the forbidden fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Throughout history the awareness of good and evil has always been linked to the awareness of choice and to the freedom and responsibility to choose this is what makes us human. But the responsibility to choose is a burden that weighs he...

Sia la memoria collettiva sia la letteratura scientifica hanno tentato di eludere il significato più profondo dell'olocausto, riducendolo a un episodio della storia millenaria dell'antisemitismo o considerandolo un incidente di percorso, una barbara ma temporanea deviazione dalla via maestra della civilizzazione. A queste rassicuranti interpretazioni l'autore contrappone una spietata analisi di quanto accadde nei campi di sterminio non come un...

Smantellata gran parte dei limiti spazio-temporali che delimitavano le potenzialità delle nostre azioni, non possiamo più ripararci dalla ragnatela della dipendenza globale. È questa la situazione in cui, volenti o nolenti, portiamo avanti oggigiorno la nostra storia comune. Anche se molto - forse tutto o quasi tutto - in questa storia in divenire dipende dalle scelte umane, le condizioni in cui tali scelte vengono fatte non sono a loro volta ...

Tabloda her seyin bulanik göründügü zamanlarda, hayatlarini kesinlik ve berrakliga adamis sosyal bilimciler genellikle susar ve taslarin yerine oturmasini bekler. Zygmunt Bauman gibi kalburüstü düsünürler ise cesaretle belirsizlige dalar ve bulduklarini, gördüklerini, hissettiklerini ortaya döker. Iste Küresellesme böyle bir cüretin ürünü. XX. yüzyilin sonlarinda, artik ne süper gücler ne de bu güclerin, dünyayi bölüp her kösesine bir anlam ve...

In this new book Zygmunt Bauman and Riccardo Mazzeo examine the contentious issue of the relation between literature (and the arts in general) and sociology (or, more generally, a branch of the humanities claiming scientific status). While many commentators see literature and sociology as radically different vocations, Bauman and Mazzeo argue that they are bound together by a common purpose and a shared subject matter. Despite the many differe...

In questo volume l'autore pone in discussione la vita quotidiana delle persone nella grande città. Un tempo luogo di sviluppo e promozione sociale, e anche di sicurezza, è oggi un "vaso di Pandora" dal quale zampillano fuori problemi che appaiono difficilmente risolvibili e generano un senso di frustrazione e insicurezza. Le città postmoderne conoscono oggi il fenomeno inverso dell'abbandono di un numero crescente di abitanti, respinti dalle p...

Özellikle modernlik ve post-modernlik üzerine incelemeleriyle son dönemin en diikkate deger düsünürlerinden biri haline gelen Zygmunt Bauman, sosyal bilimler alaninda son derece faydali bir kitap sunuyor bizlere. Sosyolojik Düsünmek, sadece sosyoloji ögrenimi görenler icin kaleme alinmis bir calisma degil. Konuiya ilgi ve merak duyan genel okurun da sosyolojinin anlami ve islevi, sosyolojide degisik tazrzlar ve yaklasimlar üzerine bilgilenmesi...

In sechs soziologischen Essays beleuchtet Bauman das fragmentarische Leben des modernen Menschen unter so verschiedenen Aspekten wie den Formen des Zusammenseins, dem Bild des Fremden, der Rolle der Gewalt und postmoderner Ängste. Als »wesentlich moralische Wesen« stehen Menschen vor der Wahl, gut oder böse zu handeln. Eine solche Situation ist immer ambivalent, jede Entscheidung birgt unabänderlich die Gefahr des Scheiterns. In der Postmoder...
